Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
I was inspired to read this book after watching the film of the same name. I knew it was a war love story where the writer lost everything and went on to become a famous feminist writer. I wanted to read a first hand account of someone who experienced the great war but I never thought that anyone could possibly write so beautifully about one of the most horrific slaughter matches of the early 20th century. Vera describes her pain very eloquently and also learned about how she railed against the social norms that she grew up in. I knew that Vera Brittain was the mother of Shirley Williams and this reinforced my interest. This is one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read and Vera Brittain's ability to captivate my interest by her fabulous writing I can only describe as outstanding. Her writing is like a work of art - just simply lovely.

Evocative of the period
A bit dated (naturally) so some of the references to current events in England will be obscure to most readers, but otherwise evokes an erie spirit of foreboding and loss among the survivors of the lost generation. War scenes are among the best I've read.
